Meachers teams up with red funnel

Meachers Global Logistics has entered into a strategic partnership with Red Funnel Distribution, the Isle of Wight's largest freight operator.

From July 2010 the 300 to 400 tonne per week new venture between the two businesses will see Meachers Global Logistics use its fleet of 75 articulated vehicles to support Red Funnel's UK customer freight collections that are bound for the Isle of Wight.

Gary Whittle, commercial director at Meachers Global Logistics, says: "As a national logistics company our skills, knowledge and expertise will complement Red Funnel's high service levels and help the company to drive efficiencies." John Rayner, Red Funnel's freight and distribution director, adds: "Meachers is ideally placed to support our distribution team in providing a fast and professional UK-wide collection service."
